Individual Therapy

CAPS uses a brief individual psychotherapy model as it is effective at addressing most student concerns and allows CAPS to serve as many students as possible. On average, students are seen for 5 to 6 sessions of individual therapy. The number of sessions may vary, however, based on clinical need, available resources, and individual, cultural, or socioeconomic factors impacting access to other treatment options. Decisions about treatment and length of care are made collaboratively with the student in consultation with clinical staff and CAPS administration.
